TY -的T1 Propylthiouracil-induced肺泡haemorrhage associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody JF - European Respiratory Journal JO - Eur Respir J SP - 1405 LP - 1407 VL - 10 IS - 6 AU - Ohtsuka, M AU - Yamashita, Y AU - Doi, M AU - Hasegawa, S Y1 - 1997/06/01 UR - //www.qdcxjkg.com/content/10/6/1405.abstract N2 - Propylthiouracil (PTU) is known to cause vasculitis as a rare complication. We report the case of a patient who developed alveolar haemorrhage and haematuria whilst treated with PTU. The serum was positive for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) with myeloperoxidase (MPO) specificity (MPO-ANCA). All symptoms resolved completely after discontinuation of PTU. Alveolar haemorrhage or pulmonary-renal syndrome associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody with myeloperoxidase specificity may be a new complication of propylthiouracil therapy. ER -
